Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing in Liverpool by CVP on 1 and 2 March 2021 before Employment Judge Benson sitting alone. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by a solicitor. The tribunal recorded that the hearing concerned whether the claimant could bring an unfair dismissal claim.
The tribunal found that the claimant's employment transferred to the respondent by reason of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006. It further found that her service was continuous from 26 February 2018 to 24 March 2020.
On that basis, the tribunal held that the claimant was entitled to bring the claim of unfair dismissal. The record is limited to that preliminary issue and does not determine the merits of dismissal or any monetary remedy.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
